Male in bed with queen, getting kiss (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smacker

'kiss' is the definition.
(smacker is a kind of kiss)

'male in bed with queen' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bed' becomes 'sack' (e.g. 'in the sack'**).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'queen' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'm' inserted into 'sack' is 'smack'.
'smack'+'er'='SMACKER'

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for smacker that I've seen before include "someone taking part in strike?" , "Loud kiss -- PS1" , "Loud kiss - GBP1" , "pound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
